It looks to me that this site has made a subtle focus toward goals. I think that is great as it is a more positive way of going about change and also for managing health problems.

My pain has been in excellent control for quite sometime now. I think about it daily, but my way of dealing with it has been yoga and traction. This seems to work for me and makes dealing with this health condition more a part of my life rather than the center of my life.

My goal of decreasing my consumerism is more of a daily struggle than pain is! This value is so ingrained in my psyche than I care to admit. I still purchase items for gifts, but I try to make them very useful and even their packaging useful as well. We have been spurred on by the economic un-certainity to make this attitude more dominant in my thoughts. A continuing challenge!
